    CBSE Test Paper-01

    Class - 12 Physics (Nuclei)

    1. The half life of I131 is 8 days. Given a sample of I131 at time t = 0, we can assert that:

    a. a given nucleus may decay after t = 0


    b. no nucleus will decay before t = 8 days
    c. no nucleus will decay before t = 4 days
    d. all nuclei will decay before t = 16 days

    2. The radioactive decay of uranium into thorium is represented by the equation


    What is x?

    a. an alpha particle
    b. an electron
    c. a neutron
    d. proton

    3. The binding energy of the nucleus is related to mass defect Δm by

    a.
    b.
    c.
    d.

    4. Plutonium decays with half life of 24000 years. If plutonium is stored for 72000 years,
    the fraction of it that remains is

    a. 1/8
    b. 1/4
    c. 1/3
    d. 1/2

    5. Which of the following particles has similar mass to that of the protons?

    a. Neutrino

    1/9
    b. Neutron
    c. Positron
    d. Proton

    6. Two nuclei have mass numbers in the ratio 1: 8. What is the ratio of their nuclear
    radii?

    7. A nucleus undergoes through -decay and transforms to thorium. What is

    i. the mass number


    ii. atomic number of the daughter nucleus produced?

    8. Draw a plot of the binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass number for a
    large number of nuclei 20 < A < 240. How do you explain the constancy of binding
    energy per nucleon in the range of 30 < A < 170 using the property that nuclear force
    is short-ranged?

    9. A nucleus with mass number A = 240 and BE/A= 7.6 MeV breaks into two fragments
    each of A = 120 with BE/ A= 8.5 MeV. Calculate the released energy.

    10. How the size of a nucleus is experimentally determined? Write the relation between
    the radius and mass number of the nucleus. Show that the density of the nucleus is
    independent of its mass number.

    11. Obtain approximately the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold isotope and the
    silver isotope .

    12. Draw a plot of potential energy between a pair of nucleons as a function of their
    separation. Mark the regions where potential energy is

    i. positive and
    ii. negative.

    13. Explain by giving necessary reactions, how energy is released during (i) fission? (ii)
    fusion?

    14. A given coin has a mass of 3.0 g. Calculate the nuclear energy that would be required
    to separate all the neutrons and protons from each other. For simplicity assume that

    2/9
    the coin is entirely made of atoms ( of mass 62.92960 u)

    15. Distinguish between nuclear fission and fusion. Show how in both these processes
    energy is released.
    Calculate the energy release in MeV in the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction.

    Using the data
